American politics has become ugly and brutal. It is
literally impossible to log onto social media and scroll through any
political page without eventually seeing arguments between the left and
the right. In the minds of liberals, conservatives are evil, racist,
xenophobic, etc. In the minds of conservatives, liberals are intolerant,
violent, and dangerous. Each side fancies themselves as the champions
of goodness. As a consistently outspoken critic of left wingers, I do
not believe all liberals are inherently evil.
While
an abundance of radical, intolerant, and psychotic left wingers exist,
that crowd does not necessarily represent liberals as a whole. There are
some of them who truly believe in the progressive agenda and view it as
a tool to help the American people. Despite my plethora of
disagreements with liberals, progressives, and Democrats, it would be
obscene to label them all as evil and dangerous. Just as there are many
well meaning conservatives, well-intentioned liberals exist as well.
Radical leftists have been incredibly damaging to decent
liberals. When the Democrats nominated Hillary Clinton in 2016, it was a
colossal mistake. Clinton embodied corruption, elitism, and
untrustworthiness. If liberals wanted a woman to represent their
platform and make a plausible run for the White House, they should have
selected a woman with a favorable reputation that was not tarnished with
countless scandals. Liberals and conservatives alike hated Hillary
Clinton.
Democrats truly hurt themselves when
they rigged the primary election in the favor of Hillary Clinton.
Liberals and conservatives both knew Bernie Sanders didn’t stand a
fighting chance against Clinton due to her overwhelming amount of
superdelegates. This truly sealed the Democrat’s fate as the party of
corruption. Rigging the primaries in Clinton’s favor also ticked off
well-intentioned liberals who happened to be Sanders supporters and
would later vote for Trump, due to their disgust with liberal elitists.
Despite the monstrosity of Sanders’ policies, if left wing leaders
simply allowed their people to pick their own nominee, perhaps the
Democrat Party would be in a slightly better position.
